-
Image
In a country where many graduates struggle with unemployment and societal pressure to secure white-collar jobs, Professor Nasiru Hassan Wagini stands out as a powerful example of humility, resilience, and enterprise. A lecturer at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University (UMYU), Katsina, Professor Wagini is not only a respected academic in the field of Plant Physiology but also a regular vegetable seller at Batsari market in Katsina State. Born into a farming family, Wagini never lost his connection to agriculture. Despite rising through the academic ranks, he chose not to abandon his farming roots. Every week, he sets up a stand to sell vegetables and soup ingredients—known locally as kayan miya. This choice is not born of necessity alone but also of purpose. For him, it is a message to Nigerian youth: dignity lies in labour, and success can be found outside of office walls. Professor Wagini has become a local icon, showing that no work is beneath anyone, regardless of their education or positi...

TB Joshua Discreetly Pursued Stroke Treatment in Turkey While Advocating Miraculous Healing, Concealed Health Issues from Followers – Sowore

-

Nigerian human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has made serious claims regarding the late TB Joshua, founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). According to Sowore, Joshua secretly traveled to Turkey for stroke treatment, all while promoting the idea of miraculous healings to his followers.

In an interview on the KaaTruths program, Sowore revealed that Joshua sought medical assistance in Turkey but kept this information hidden from the public. “TB Joshua, when he had a stroke, didn’t even go to a Christian country. He went to Turkey. He spent time in Turkey treating his stroke. He was flown there by his private jet,” Sowore asserted.

Joshua’s decision to keep quiet about his health problems is said to have played a role in his untimely passing.

“Many people are unaware that TB Joshua was actually treated in Turkey after having a stroke,” he stated.

“What I’ve heard is that his desire to conceal his illness contributed to his death. He shied away from telling the public about the stroke, and that information simply wasn’t out there.”

He raised a poignant question about why other religious leaders, known for their miracle claims, didn’t step in to help Joshua when he needed it.

“I asked myself, if TB Joshua suffered a stroke and there’s our brother in Port Harcourt, Prophet Umueke Miracle from Dynamic Flame of Fire and Miracle Ministries, who can cure strokes, why didn’t he step up? It feels unjust that a fellow servant of God had to lose his life this way,” he said.

“TB Joshua passed away due to a stroke, and yet we have a miracle worker so close. He could have just taken a quick trip to Lagos, laid his hands on Joshua, and we could still have him here with us.”

Sowore went on to criticize top religious leaders, especially general overseers (GOs), for misleading their followers by promoting miraculous healings while they themselves seek high-quality medical care.

“None of these GOs or high-profile evangelists seem to play games with their health. They know exactly where to go for the best medical treatment,” Sowore pointed out.

He claimed that these leaders not only receive medical care but also indulge in cosmetic enhancements, such as plastic surgeries and hair transplants, all while leading their followers to believe in divine healing.

“They undergo all sorts of cosmetic procedures. Why do they perpetuate the myth that they can achieve what is scientifically unfathomable?” he asked.

Sowore emphasized the need to address health and social issues through effective healthcare systems rather than solely relying on religious solutions.

“I envision a country with fully functional hospitals where even pastors who face health challenges can consult experienced professionals and receive top-notch treatment without the need to hide away,” he concluded.
